New Episodes of Foyle's War: Production Update

Acorn Media just sent us an update on the production of the new season of Foyle's War and we wanted to share with you some of the details.

Three episodes of the new season — it will be the seventh here in the US, but eighth in the UK — will air next summer as part of PBS's Masterpiece Mystery!

With many stories based on real life cases, Christopher Foyle (brilliantly played by Michael Kitchen) will focus his attention on the world of espionage as he gathers secret intelligence in support of Britain's security, defense and the Government's foreign and economic policies.

In his new role as a Senior Intelligence Officer, Foyle discovers that the British establishment is rife with communist sympathisers and traitors. In this delicately balanced period in history, 1946-47, Foyle will use all his intelligence, guile and intuition to keep the country safe.

Meanwhile, Sam (Honeysuckle Weeks) is happily married to local MP Adam and finding her feet as a wife with a daunting role in local politics. Reunited with Foyle, she is also offered a surprising new working role …

Acorn Media purchased Foyle's War in November 2010 and has worked closely with producer Jill Green and creator/writer Anthony Horowitz to develop new episodes. These episodes mark the first time Acorn Media has produced original drama content.

We are so thrilled this series is continuing, the previous seasons representing some of the best television we think we've ever seen, and are so looking forward to the new episodes next summer.
